Anti pot commericals make me laugh

So I'm watching TV the other night and this anti weed commerical I've seen a few times comes on. It's the one where the girl is flat on her couch and her friend is saying since she started smoking reefer she's all lazy and boring now. Every time I see this fucking lame ass commerical I laugh, and I really laugh at it when I'm stoned because when I am stoned I want to get up and do something like go for a walk.

 

Lmao.. That's my favorite one.

 

Haha, yeah those adds are just ridiculous. Anyone who believes them needs a good slap and a toke .

 

they just as rediculus as the ones made in the 1930s . Reefer Madness!

 

haha, Have you guys seen the one with the little pirate on the matchbook saying "You... are high. You are high," to the dude who is about to go drive? It's hilarious, funniest thing I've seen in a while. It's actually a good commercial for the whole concept too, because they don't threaten you with all this scary stuff, they just say "Here, think twice about driving, just be careful."

 

I like the one with the chick that's crunched down cuz of pressure.

 

In Canada, I haven't seen any anti-weed commercials, but did hear a "if you toke, don't drive" commercial... that I agreed with... but we do have a lot of anti-drug commercials that get aird.. and they imply weed too..

Anyhow, they piss me off so much in the sense that they usually portray pot smokes as junkies... These commercials are then sandwiched in-between two beer commercials that portray beer drinkers as sexy, athletic party guys with women all around them... lmao... is society still this fucking restarted? have people not been to bars? bunch of fat slobs drinking till their stupid, then throwing up and going home with a few less brain cells... JC... the world is a messed up place.

 

I haven't seen any of these commercials, but they seem fucking ridiculous (and funny too)!

 

double standards.......

 

ive seen that ask frank one loads...the one were the little kid looks at the bong and asks "what do you put in this vase?", lol but my favourite still is the karate one...high for a night slow for a month...lol bullshit!

 

I like the one when the kid is trying to outrun the junkyard dog. Makes me laugh hardcore to see some dude gettin' chased by a dog... hehehe

 

I thought Reefer Madness was produced in the 50's?

I have to say as a parent, I find these commercials offensive, especially when they are followed by beer commercials, or worse, some truly dangerous drug being pushed by a pharmaceutical company to "treat" a "disease" like low sex drive or anxiety or some other condition that could be cured completely by turning off the idiot box and taking an active role in one's own life. "Say No to Drugs" indeed! *seethes*

And then the pro-legalization commercials, newspaper, and subway ads get banned...oh, it's enraging!

 

very, very true.

 

whenever those comercials come on my moms like dont let ur friends tell you what to do and it pisses me off because it makes it seem like that if ur friends didnt do it u wouldnt or that like they make u do it it pisses me off

 

If my friends were telling what to do then I wouldnt be friends with em..ha

 

1936 film

 

The film begins with a high school lecture. The principal, Dr. Carroll, is attempting to warn parents about the dangers of marihuana. To illustrate his point, he tells the group the story of a group of innocent teenagers whose downfall was supposedly caused by cannabis, saying that he'll give his audience "the real facts" about the case.

At an apartment owned by Mae Coleman, and Jack Perry, her lover (supposedly, the couple is "living in sin," yet they sleep in separate beds like a conservative married couple of the 1930s), the duo sells marihuana. Mae prefers to sell reefer to customers her own age, whereas Jack sells the drug to young teenagers. Ralph, a former college student turned fellow dealer (and "addict," according to the film), and Blanche help Jack sell cannabis to young students.

Young students Bill and Jimmy are invited to Mae and Jack's apartment by Blanche and Ralph. Jimmy takes Bill to the party. There, Jack runs out of reefer. Jimmy, who has a car, drives him to pick up some more. Arriving at Jack's boss's "headquarters," he gets out and Jimmy asks him for a cigarette. Jack gives him a joint. Later, when Jack comes back down and gets into the car, Jimmy drives off dangerously, along the way killing a pedestrian with his car (through the inept filmmaking skills, however, it is very clear that the man isn't actually killed, as he jumps out of the way before the car hits him). Jack agrees to keep Jimmy's name out of the case.

Bill begins an affair with Blanche. Mary, Bill's girlfriend, goes to Mae's apartment looking for Jimmy, and accepts a joint from Ralph, thinking it to be a normal cigarette. When she refuses Ralph's advances, he tries to rape her. Bill comes out of the bedroom after having sex with Blanche, and hallucinates that Mary strips for Ralph. He attacks Ralph, and as the two are fighting, Jack tries to break it up by hitting Bill with the butt of his gun. The gun goes off, and Mary is killed (though in one of the camera shots taking place before it is revealed that Mary has been "shot in the back," the gun is aimed at the floor, one of the film's most revealing mistakes).

Jack puts the gun in the hand of an unconscious Bill, and wakes him up. Bill sees the gun in his hand, and is led to believe that he has killed Mary. Bill is sent to prison. The group of dealers hide low for a while in Blanche's apartment while Bill's trial takes place. Ralph, losing his sanity, wants to tell the police who is actually responsible for the death of Mary. Though the film attributes marijuana use to Ralph's insanity, it is far more likely that he is losing his sanity through feelings of guilt rather than drug use.

Seeking advice from his boss, Jack is told to shoot Ralph so he keeps his mouth shut. Meanwhile, at the apartment, Blanche offers to play some piano music for Ralph to keep his mind off things. They are both very high, and Ralph tells her to play faster. She increases her playing speed to a downright cartoon-like speed in one of the film's most famous and over the top sequences.

Jack shows up and Ralph immediately senses that Jack wants to kill him, so he kills Jack by beating him to death (with an object that is clearly not much heavier than a plant leaf). The police arrest Ralph, Mae and Blanche. Mae talks, and the criminal gang is rounded up. Blanche explains that Bill was innocent, and he is released. Ralph is put in an asylum. Blanche jumps out a window and falls to her death (a notable goof is that the window is clearly a painting in one shot, and when you see Blanche's dead body on the steps of the building, it is clearly a mannequin).

 

Funniest one I've seen is this kid in some ghetto area climbing a fence with barbed wire and being attacked by a dog.. Wtf does that have to do with pot?

 

none of them make me laugh...just cry.

 

Because everyone who takes a hit from a marijuana ciggerate will try and outrun a humongous pitbull and be severely bitten.
